'PTI to continue protest until Imran Khan joins them,' says Bushra Bibi as march moves towards Islamabad

Pakistani authorities have closed national highways and motorways nationwide in anticipation of a protest rally organised by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party in Islamabad on Sunday (Nov 24).

Pakistani authorities have closed national highways and motorways nationwide in anticipation of a protest rally organised by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party in Islamabad on Sunday (Nov 24). The demonstration is being held in support of former prime minister Imran Khan, who has been imprisoned for over a year. PTI claims the charges against him are politically motivated. The protest also aims to point out alleged interference in the February general elections and to demand measures to safeguard judicial independence, which the party claims has been undermined by the 26th Constitutional Amendment. The government has denied these allegations. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's administration has pledged to take strict action to prevent the PTI’s protest and warned that participants risk arrest. In an effort to suppress the rally, authorities have deployed security forces, banned public gatherings, blocked roads in Islamabad and Rawalpindi using shipping containers, and launched a crackdown on opposition leaders and workers.

This includes 5,000 Rangers, 5,500 Frontier Constabulary officers, 9,000 Punjab police officers, and 2,000 Sindh police personnel, all tasked with preventing PTI supporters from entering the capital. Pakistan's anti-terror body warns of militant threat ahead of PTI protest in Islamabad Meanwhile, Pakistan’s National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) has issued a warning about potential militant attacks targeting the PTI rally. In a classified alert shared earlier in the week, NACTA indicated that members of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) had crossed into Pakistan from Afghanistan and infiltrated key cities. The alert, issued on Thursday but reported in the media on Saturday, was based on intelligence from "multiple sources" regarding threats to the protest march. (With inputs from agencies)

Pakistan seals off Islamabad ahead of PTI protests; anti-terror body warns of militant threat

Clashes between police and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activists continued at Islamabad's D-Chowk on Saturday. Heavy rainfall diminished the impact of police tear gas, allowing a surge of protesters to advance towards D-Chowk, according to a report by the Express Tribune.

Clashes between police and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activists continued at Islamabad's D-Chowk on Saturday. Heavy rainfall diminished the impact of police tear gas, allowing a surge of protesters to advance towards D-Chowk, according to a report by the Express Tribune. In response, police detained several activists from Jinnah Avenue. Confrontations between protesters and police began early in the morning, marked by stone-throwing and retaliation from protesters in response to police actions. Organised in convoys, PTI protesters made their way to the protest site, leading to intermittent clashes with law enforcement. Meanwhile, gusty winds reversed the effects of police tear gas at the D-Chowk, as the smoke from tear gas shells fired by police blew back onto law enforcement personnel, forcing them to retreat. Law enforcement personnel later returned to D-Chowk after the rain subsided, Dawn reported. Notably, a convoy of 800 PTI activists from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) entered Rawalpindi, where enraged individuals set a crane and a motorcycle on fire at Chungi Number 26, the Express Tribune reported.

Sharing a post on X, the party wrote, "Scenes of people arriving at D Chowk in large numbers. The idols of fear have been broken!" The party said its political committee decided that the protest would continue and demanded the immediate release of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. Sharing a post on X, the party wrote, "Important announcement: The political committee of Tehreek-e-Insaf has decided that the protest will continue and has demanded that the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Ali Amin Gandapur, who is currently in custody, should be released immediately, we stand by our demands!"
